I thank the representatives of the IFA, particularly Mr. Gorman, for coming in. It is good to have him here and I look forward to his term of office. He has hit the ground running and I am sure he will make a great impact and will be a great representative for the farming community.

Much of what I was going to ask has been touched on. Our guests have clarified that 21 farmers are affected in the Cratloe area of County Clare. How large an area of commercial forestry, in terms of the acreage, are we talking about?
